Adding QR / Barcodes to PDFs

Adding QR Code & Barcode content to PDF Templates can be accomplished when using PDF Generator in concert with Yansa's Barcode & QR Code Generator.

When both apps are installed in your ServiceNow instance, a PDF Template Merge Map of type QR/Barcode will be available. This can be selected in order to embed any active Barcode Generator into your PDF document.

Please reference documentation of Merge Maps, HTML to PDF Merge Templates, and Label Templates to learn how to add a QR/Barcode Merge Map to your PDF template.

On the next page, we'll show you a step-by-step example of creating a Label Template w/ barcode content. This example also illustrates methods to build non-label PDFs w/ barcode content.

When generating pages of labels (such as asset tags), we recommend using Yansa Labs' Asset Tag Maker application, which is a purpose-built overlay to facilitate the process of batch tag generation.
